Upcoming Local Events

Welcome to our Twelfth Night celebration! Let us now celebrate all things German! Our 12th Night event will take place at our traditional site, Green Gables, 7712 Somerset Pike, Jennerstown, PA. And we will hold our usual Silent Auction of select and desirable items. Also entertainment and an open bardic competition (entries do not need to be German themed).

We will once again sponsor a scroll contest. Participants are encouraged to use a German theme in their work. Scroll size is to be no less than 8" X 10" to provide sufficient space for calligraphy. An award will be given to the most original scroll as judged by our Baron and Baroness. If desired, your scroll may be donated to the to the Barony. Please mark your name and contact information on the back of your scroll in pencil.

Doors open at 10:00 a.m. and close at 9:00 p.m. As Green Gables is a commercial restaurant with a liquor license, no alcohol can be brought on site; however, the restaurant will provide a cash bar. The all-day munchie sideboard is open to all attendees and will commence at noon, with heartier dishes appearing after courts in the evening.
